and so it begins...

So after spending a very stressful few days before kicking off this whirlwind of an adventure, I was actually ready to go to the airport. Ready to be done with planning, freaking out, stressing, packing and worrying IF I have EVERYTHING that I need for the trip and just do it already! 
Mandy and I are at the counter ready to go, and then THE news. Our flight was delayed two hours, because of weather reasons, causing us to miss our connection flight to Lima that night. So when given the choice to either arrive after 11pm in Bogota and find a hotel to stay in until the flight tomorrow afternoon OR go home and sleep in our own beds and just take the same flight tomorrow...the choice was clear. Not that we wouldn't like to experience the Colombian night life, but getting abducted and ransomed on day 1 would have put a serious damper our tour.
We have a few days in Lima before our Machu Picchu trek actually starts, so thankfully we won't miss out on much. So today we get to catch our breaths, maybe do some more repacking/organizing of bags, but mostly do absolutely nothing and take on the world tomorrow!
